The B4 howitzer adjustments were completely unnecessary. It was difficult and expensive enough to get that Direct Fire shot off, now it's not even a guaranteed penetration (and kill/cripple) anymore? I hope that's not the case.

Otherwise, I think if you do manage to stabilize the front and save up the mp for 2-3 howitzers, you deserve the win by trashing the base from afar. I thought the entire point of the artillery commanders was that. They're not getting any of the usual heavy call-ins to attack or defend with, after all.

I don't understand what people are talking about with this talk about static gameplay... I've played around 10 matches after the patch with Sov mostly, and there's a remarkedly emphasized chess-like aspect of back-and-forth maneuver between cover now that wasn't there before. It's anything but static as you're constantly attempting to anticipate the next move of the opponent and positioning your units accordingly to gain an advantage.

It's not about simply taking a green cover position and then watching as your cons die to grens in similar cover. You need to move.

Sure, I'm no expert, but that's my 2 cents.

+1 to the original idea. I, for one, don't mind if it messes with my bought commanders.

New commanders are cool. I'm glad they keep adding to the game. I've spent a total of 462 hrs on Coh2 so far (and about 2500+ on coh1) and the $8 is totally fine with me.

The guys threatening to quit the game should get on with it and stop making so much noise.

The P2W-whine crowd should hit the highway as well. Things aren't going to back to "how it used to be".

I'm with him. Somehow, gaming seems to be the only activity where people expect to have continuous support for ever and ever with just a single and actually pretty low payment of €50.

Hell, gym costs me €30 per month (which is the cheapest you can get around here), eating out around €50 or so and painting little men has it's costs. All my hobbies have upkeep.

Even taking up an activity like running, where you don't have to pay for facilities, isn't completely free of monetary upkeep. Why should gaming be?

When it comes to balancing, I'll just weather it. As long as I keep shelling out cash for them, they have a real incentive to fix things. I lived through (+1500 matches, countless hours) the disasters of CoH 1 like the insane-suicide-tank-rush-AWM and Roos-to-the-base-crap. I will survive these present ones as well. And - God forbid - have fun while doing so.

And for the record, I find myself almost always playing the underdog faction. It's not fun to win too easily. I'm also definitely not a millionaire. I earn less than the national average.
